Acer Aspire 7 A715-72G-74HL - Do i have space in my laptop for an additional SSD drive?

Kalach

I have an Acer Aspire 7 model A715-72G-74HL. I cannot find an answer to my question anywhere. I have an SATA III 1TB HDD inside but I am wondering can I add an M.2 SSD also.

Hi @Kalach
You don't have a second HDD bay, if that's what you were asking about, as I said earlier, you can install a M.2 SSD, transfer your HDD contents to it and use HDD for additional storage.
This is what you have in your model:

I have read the thread but I don't believe i found an answer for my question. I might have missed it.

But I don't know if you understood me right. I know that i can support an M.2 SSD, but do I have actual physical space for a second drive.

I can send more specs if needed and the Laptop is 1.7 years old if that means anything. Or should i go to a Acer servis and pay them to open it and see.

You have one HDD bay and there's room for M.2 SSD which is the second physical drive.

So I can simultaneously have an SSD and an HDD, right?
